Innovative video blogs in Montreal

By Heri Oct 16th 2007 in Design

If you are interested in videos and its usages for the web, I stumbled into 2 new shows, both bilingual, and done by local video bloggers.

The first one is done dy Marie-Claude Beaucage and Veronique Boisjoly and is titled “dans ton salon”. They come into a musician’s living room, have an interview, and get a private “show”. The production quality is very good, but this is not really what struck me. The host and the interviewee are comfortable with the camera and everything seems spontaneously deliciousss

Exactly how blogs are vs the press.I find that both shows are a great use of technology, one that could only be possible thanks to the Internet. It makes me wonder if this isn’t the real future of blogging, the one that would make blogging popular here in Quebec and in Canada.
